Scenario testing versus integration testing in SAP R/3
Scenario testing is the testing of chains of SAP transactions that make up a process within a single area or module. Scenario testing includes testing of a process with data from external systems and applicable SAP roles/profiles. Scenario testing is primarily a manual effort but can include some partial automation with test tools for processes that are stable, frozen, and proven to have worked manually. The scenario testing is owned by the configuration teams but includes participation from SMEs and members of the test team and development team.
Integration testing is the testing of chains of SAP transactions that make up an end-to-end process that cuts across multiple modules, for instance, order-to-cash, purchase-to-pay, and hire-to-retire with external data and converted data. Integration testing includes testing through the external systems and SAP bolt-ons with security roles and workflow. Integration testing consists of multiple iterations. The dedicated test team is the owner of the integration test. Integration testing requires participation from members of the configuration and development teams for defect resolution. Additionally, SMEs and end users participate in the integration test as reviewers and for approval of test results.
Integration testing is mostly a manual effort but can include some partial automation with test tools.
